New Logo at Last!
It’s not perfect, but I like it and it’s all mine, not some easily forgotten/irreproducible font because it’s not a font!

It’s been an issue for a couple months now, or feels like that anyway, and I can’t seem to fix it. At this point, I’m over trying to fix it even … Continue reading “Life of a Knitter”
A Knitter’s Life Update
Hey folks, just a quick note to say I’m still here! I ended up under the weather and haven’t been knitting this week.
